When requesting a rep contact me about a hacked email address, I was put in a faq loop that goes nowhere except to release your information to hackers.

I have already provided several elements to share my experience. Is that a need to repeat and repeat again capturing the same information? This is not reassuring.

I thought the whole process was tedious and stupid. To many verification emails and texts. Facial recognition bull$#*! to find you will take an extra 8 weeks to process. You suck as well as your company. Go away

ID.me was was the one for me.
May 8, 2025

ID.me really just looked like the best form of online identification I could use. Once I went through the relatively quick and easy one time sign up process. I could use it in the future when ever I needed to.

Complete waste of time signing up for ID.me. After I went through the signup process, it ended up increasing the price of the item I was attempting to purchase.

Experience was awful. You make the assumption that everybody grew up in a classroom with a laptop in their face. I was still using a manual typewriter in high school. The ID is not geared towards the elderly or the social security group and you makes assumptions that they can afford if a computer and or internet access and that everybody has internet access 100% of the time that they live in a big city and have all the comforts of everything that is reliable. So y'all keep on sitting there telling people that they need to be accepting of others that are not like you yet you vilify the elderly for being old-fashioned for being old for having values so no I don't like the ID me it's a third party person for one and two it's just playing too complicated.

I wasn't sure if ID. Me could help me or not, so I took the chance. I'm glad I did because they were able to help me in ways I didn't think they could. I am so thankful to them for what all they could do for me.
